Of
all the Porsche road car models, none to date is quite so
exclusive as the Carrera GT. The Porsche Carrera GT was designed
to compete with other apex-supercars such as the Lamborghini Murcielago and Ferrari Enzo.
Built from a combination of carbon fiber, aluminum and magnesium,
the Carrera GT is powered by a mid-mounted 5.7-liter, 605
horsepower V-10 engine that allows for 0 to 60 mph in under
four seconds and a top speed of 205 mph. Braking is done with
the help of ceramic rotors. Ceramic is able to cope with higher
temperatures than steel and therefore work better under extreme
use.
A planned manufacturing run of 1,000 Porsche Carrera GT's
was later increased to 1,270 by the time production ceased
in 2006. Most cars ended up in the United States.
